Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders understand the importance of developing communication and language skills for all children, including children with special education needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders and staff are highly committed in supporting children with SEND, working closely with parents and other professionals to promote shared strategies. Additional funding is used to support children's individual needs, enabling children with SEND to make good progress alongside their peers in a supportive and inclusive environment.

Outdoor space

Children benefit from plentiful opportunities to play outdoors. During garden play, toddlers find ride-on cars and tractors, learning to use their feet to propel themselves, while older children practise playing football. This active play helps children develop essential core strength, balance, and coordination.
